Lu Jie learned from the intelligence that the reason why the Japanese army did not attack seemed to be waiting for something. They did not know what it was. After all, this was a secret of the Japanese army and not just anyone could know.
They hadn't completely deciphered the Japanese password yet, or else it would have been much easier to obtain information.
Lu Jie also attached great importance to this aspect. He knew the importance of intelligence in a war. Sometimes, it could even play a decisive role.
There was an old saying in China that said,"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."
Lu Jie did not have much experience in intelligence, but fortunately, Tan Ya had this kind of work. Now, she had been transferred from Lu Jie's bodyguard to an intelligence officer.
It had to be said that Tanya was really a talent. She handled the intelligence work in an orderly manner. In just a few days, she had built a simple intelligence network in Beiping City.
This piece of information was obtained from the 29th division's intelligence department. It was still too short a time to obtain information.
No matter what the Japanese were waiting for, he had to be prepared to attack. He did not want to continue defending like this. Now that he had a brigade of 10,000 soldiers, he might be able to catch the Japanese off guard.
It would be much more convenient if there were armored vehicles like tanks. They could rush out directly, but Xu Ziqiu thought of another way.
That was to modify the jeep, install steel plates to obtain a certain degree of protection, and then install a 12.7mm heavy machine gun. This was a very simple armored vehicle.
This would definitely be a great advantage for the Japanese army, who did not have much anti-tank power, and would be beneficial for counterattack.
However, this would still take some time. According to the current needs, it would take at least three to four days to complete the preparations.
After all, a counterattack was not a casual one. It required a lot of preparation, and the recruited troops also needed two to three days of adaptability training.
A few days later, they would be able to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army. At that time, it would be the battle that made Lu Jie famous.
However, the artillery unit could participate in the artillery attack. The independent regiment had an artillery battalion with a total of 48 105mm howitzers.
The independent brigade had an artillery regiment with a total of more than 100 cannons. 36 of them were 170mm K17 howitzers, and the rest were 105mm howitzers. There were more than 100 cannons in total.
Now, even the Japanese troops stationed in North China did not have so many heavy artillery. Lu Jie liked to bully the Japanese in terms of weapons.
When dawn arrived, the artillery unit began to work. Their daily task was to fire shells at the Japanese positions for half an hour from 6:00 to 6:30. This was considered early training.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A soldier carrying the shells was wearing fire-resistant gloves as he stuffed the shells into the barrel.
He shook his sore hand and felt happy. He used to be a cannonball carrier in the 29th division. Back then, he was very free, but it was not a happy thing to see that the cannons rarely fired.
Now, there were so many cannonballs that he couldn't finish them all. He could fire as many cannonballs as he could carry. The sound of the cannonballs every day was like the sound of nature in his eyes. Looking at the flickering cannonballs made his blood boil.
"Can the Japanese still stand such a barrage every day? If it was in the past, I'm afraid we would have run off to God knows where!”While the cannons were cooling down, the porter said to the gunner.
The two of them came from the same village, so they had a good relationship.
"Who cares if these bastards can take it or not? Anyway, I had a great time fighting. Fortunately, I came to this independent regiment back then. Otherwise, how could there be such a good thing? The training cannonballs could not be used up every day!”
There was a fixed amount of cannonball training in the artillery unit of the Independent Regiment every day. If they couldn't finish the cannonball training every day, they couldn't eat. This was an extremely painful thing for the cannoneers because there were too many cannonballs.
Due to the recent war, they had been practicing with the Japanese every day.
However, the Japanese felt more pain than them. No one would feel good being bombed every day.
Now, the Japanese army could be said to be envious and jealous of the opposing army. They were envious that they had so many artillery shells, as if they could never finish firing.
Even they couldn't bear to fire so many shells every day.
In the headquarters of the 40th Brigade, Yue Liangfu had just fallen asleep when he heard the sound of explosions in the distance. He opened his bloodshot eyes.
At this moment, his adjutant ran in and reported,""Reporting to the brigade commander, the Chinese are bombarding our position. The soldiers are injured and request to retreat a few kilometers to avoid the bombardment.”
Yue Liangfu waved his hand helplessly and said,""Sure!"
"When will the Independent Heavy Artillery Regiment arrive?" he asked suddenly.”
"Reporting to the brigade commander, they have sent a telegram. They will arrive in an hour. They will be able to set up the artillery position before noon!”
Yue Liangfu nodded happily and said,""Soga, we're going to let those bastards have a taste of our cannons. I'm going to raze Wanping to the ground!”
